Christian Braun's defense (#CBD) is *not* that of a rookie.
Here he switches 3 times, staying glued to the ball handler after each one, and finishes by successfully contesting the jumper.

Totally agree, but the clip is not really the best example for Braun‘s defense
Christian Braun is definitely a man who does not allow penetration
That possession blew me away too. There are very few guys in the league that can defend on that level. Maybe like 3-5% of players? If he ever averages 40% from 3 on volume, the Nuggets have another top 50 player. The other thing I love about his defense is his ability to elevate out of nowhere for a block. His athleticism is really sneaky.
Does not compute. Christian = Rookie so therefore his defense is rookie defense. Checkmate.
